A Cookout at Laflamboys!

Last Saturday, I enjoyed a nice cookout at John Laflamboy's house. (Perhaps you know him. Perhaps you were even there!) It was a lovely day out, warm and sunny. Hendo sprang for some meat for the grill and vodka and cranberry juice. People played "Cornhole" in the backyard and joked about that being the actual name of the game.

Good people.
Good conversation.
A general feeling of relaxation and goodwill all the way around. Some of my favorite people in Chicago were there to eat meat with me.

I took some pictures and some videos with my camera. If you were there, these are some of the things that you might've seen:

Here's a WIDESCREEN mega-view collage of what I saw, from where I was sitting, at the table. (Click on the pic to bigify it!)


The guy on the left is Hendo. The guy on the right is Gizmo. I am not making any of that up. That's what people call them.


The people on the patio.


Another view of the patio.


This person (that I didn't know) got out her hula hoop and did all manner of cool dancing with it. I bet that would look pretty badass under a blacklight too. (It had funky orange neon tape on it.)






Andrea is tall.


Joe, taking an important phone call, in the corner of the yard.


Lee and I are Cornholin' buddies!
